I think a bigger barrier may be the need to pay to upload. In the past, the upload and buy/sell functions were separate. The buy/sell is not required by most noobs, especially outside of the USA/Canada. And most beginners don't have flickr accounts to link to.
As time goes by, more and more forums appear. The ones that charge are going to lose people.
I had forgotten about that. Personally, I agree. There is also the limited life of the image links here, whereas those to images in free forums seem permanent.
I have not investigated uploading for sale but commercial buyers like to do their own processing, beyond the very basics, such that images posted in the forum may not be the version which would show them what is on offer. I also suspect that macro is the genre, together with landscape, where the market is smallest and probably not easily entered.
